Yup, but then it needs the suffix so that two builds of Qt 6 (or later one of 
Qt 7) can be installed in parallel and the user/developer can select which one 
it is.

Makes sense, but I'd argue for opt-in to having them, instead of opt-out of 
excluding them. We Qt developers would know about that option.

And can that option simply be -developer-build?

For any of us who may need a non-developer-build to test or build against, 
replacing those scripts is simple, if inconvenient. They just call qt-cmake 
with a few extra options.
